You may think I'm a crazy cat lady, who is going to go off on a pet-tangent, but I invite you to stay here with me for a moment. I'll "purr-suade" you with my story.
I'm actually more of a crazy-about-Cisco employee. It's because of Cisco and it's flexible workplace technology that allowed my cat, Slick to defy the odds of a Lymphoma diagnosis.
Even if you're not a cat person, you could replace the word "cat" with parent, sibling, dog, unicorn, narwhal, friend -whatever. The same flexibility that saved my cat could apply to anything or anyone in need of assistance.
Slick's Lymphoma diagnosis resulted in a 16.5% chance of him seeing the year 2016. Could you imagine not being around for Cisco's#neverbetter campaign? Neither could I. The treatment options were lengthy and of course could only occur doing the workweek. Most people would've had to face defeat, which would only have devastating results for Slick, and for me.
Luckily for my adorably bratty cat, I am employed by Cisco, one of the very best tech companies to work for in America according to Business Insider. Fun Fact: We have the highest rated workplace flexibility, 67% of employees are able to work remotely.
This is how we made it happen:
I am thrilled and beyond appreciative that Cisco enables me to work anytime, anywhere on any device.
